The editors didn't like
Too many charging components
Limited to Samsung devices
Angle of screen is slightly awkward
The software is unforgivably bad. Tragically bad. It feels as if the Gear Fit and the S Health teams barely spoke to each other at all. Which is especially bedeviling since Samsung made the conscious choice to sell a wearable product that only works with
Fitness tracking is not on par with others
Exercise tracking and pedometer are less accurate
Compatibility limited to Samsung devices only
Pricey
Heartsensor is dishearteningly slow
Sleep tracking does not yield much usable data
Proprietary charger. Reading emails is a little awkward on the display and not easy to manage. Software could use a more than a few tweaks to make it more intuitive. Like most smart watches
Battery life could be better
Inaccurate data logging
Confusing
Opaque interface functions
Poor battery life
Display orientation is not ideal

At times inaccurate

So you're stuck with the features included. And the price is high

Not functionally independent
Requires a supported Samsung device. Pedometer not enabled by default. Touch screen too sensitive to use while in motion. Requires two apps to use fully. Short battery life

Beautiful design, Heart rate monitor, Great for fitness
Software issues, Samsung Galaxy support only, Still missing something
I need to spend a bit more time with the Gear Fit before I can cast a proper judgement but so far it's making for a nifty fitness companion. The limit to Samsung devices will be a bugbear for a lot of people, especially when they see how nice that screen...

Abstract: We love fitness trackers. I wear a couple myself both in my iPhone and Android devices, as well as devices from Jawbone and Fitbit on my wrist. But they don't do anything. I'm still an overweight, sedentary guy who doesn't work out enough, and I'm finding...

Abstract: We've tested a bunch of smartwatches in 2014, most of which ran Android Wear. There is a lot of variation in design and some companies –– hello, Moto –– are clearly way out in front with respect to the actual look and feel of their devices. Below is a rou...

Attractive (for a smartwatch) and well made. Curved screen is beautiful and bright. Battery should see most users through three days
Rarely displayed time when I wanted it to. No GPS tracking. Long texts not fully displayed. S Health is confusing, with too much going on. Cannot automatically detect exercise or sleep
The Gear Fit was my favourite product of the Mobile World Congress technology show this year. Where the Gear 2 offered too much and for a high price, the Fit stuck to the specific task of recording exercise and being a watch with a simple range of notifi...
